And even though this channel was not mentioned in the video, I want to send a thank you to ‪@NovaUmbral‬ for creating this long form / info heavy content better and faster than I can, and for largely inspiring the structure and pace of the video, even if I couldn't do it as well as you.

Time to cover my ass and amend the video's short comings in text form.
This took a good while to finish, and I know there's a ton I could've done better, but if I obsessed over every detail it would never release, and I should really just try to be happy with this as my first "project" and let it be how it is.

I learned a lot from putting this together and if I do another one of these in the future it'll be more consistent and structured better. Sorry if some of the game footage appears compressed, half way through the project I got a 1440p monitor and scaled the recording down to 1080 in obs, which made some shots look not as nice as I would've liked. Audio could use work too, but again, better to release it than to let it rot in production purgatory forever, and for a first shot it isn't so bad.
I don't know what I'll make next but I'll probably make something that isn't a deep dive into a Warframe with as much nuance as Zephyr.

Finally, Thank you to my friends who pushed me to continue working on this project and looked forward to watching it. If you aren't one of them and enjoyed it anyway, thank you in particular for watching. I welcome constructive feedback. I know this video deserves some of it, most definitely in the writing department.
